Bonus Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Fantastic day for WP and Team Sky. After last weeks fourth place I'm really pleased with today. What an awful day on the bike though. A breed apart for sure.
'Dale Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 The Skyborgs raced well this Spring.This is a well earned result. https://youtu.be/ipzRC5kIIE0
'Dale Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Albasini had the legs to winHe overworked a bit and took too much wind.
SwissVan Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Well, that concludes an awesome Spring... Not if you were outside in that yesterday... i was out running and seconding my wife on my mtb and we had sideways rain, hail, kapok, normal rain, wind, snow.... when i got back i watched LBL on the pvr and it was very familiar...never been that cold on a bike before. Yeah i know you were talking about the Spring classics...spring Pfft....

Abercrombie Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Incredible race yesterday, as a viewer though I spent most of the day grinding my teeth to the repetitive droning on of Paul Sherwen. True to form we heard how 'when he raced', his ability to pronounce French riders etc. Maybe I'm just being unfair but it's getting very repetitive.

I mean sigh. Mute he TV and listen to live streaming commentary on eurosport or as said above even listening to it in Flemish is better than those 2.

I'd still rather have that than no coverage at all .... maybe I'm just a glass half full type of guy?
Gen Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I'd still rather have that than no coverage at all .... maybe I'm just a glass half full type of guy?Seems they only do commentary for the ASO races .. or SS only get the Sky coverage for the ASO races..

Also getting a bit irritated by their droning on and on. I find that I enjoy the Aussie Matt Keenan a lot and is the only redeeming factor with the Sky broadcasting team. For some of the midweek races they were using a different feed and their commentator was fine. As for the Flemish/Dutch commentary, did you understand any of it? Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk

Not so much understanding the words as much as actually hearing them especially when they start talking quickly. Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk
